Tasting Notes
Another outstanding Rosato find from the late Gentleman of Montalcino – which, is in fact, the last vintage under Franco’s supervision. Right from the glass, the striking singularity of this wine shows through with its stunning orange-copper hue. The nose immediately reveals explosive notes of orange citrus, deep cherry, and salinity. With air, the wine once again opens on the palate and is a cornucopia of joy with nuances of orange blossoms, tangerines, pronounced grapefruit, rose petals, black cherry, stony minerality, herbs, tea, and a hint of oak. This wine is more precise than the previous ripe 2011, and there is the sangiovese hallmark acidity to balance this medium-full bodied gem out. Look for the delicate and lingering citrus-cherry finish. Worth the search and the wait.

The Producer
Biondi Santi
Produced for the first time in 1888, the Biondi-Santi Riserva was the first Brunello di Montalcino in history, and even today it is an extraordinary event when a new vintage of Riserva is announced at Tenuta Greppo, the Biondi-Santi main estate. Renowned for its extraordinary longevity, this rare wine has been released only 40 times and each production is extremely limited.
At the centre of the cellar at Tenuta Greppo there is a dark room, hidden away from the world, dedicated specifically to Riserva. It is 'La Storica', the estate wine library where Biondi-Santi carefully refines the bottles of each Riserva vintage ever produced. Here the bottles lie neatly stacked in small cells divided by vintage, 'naked', wearing only a drop of bees wax to seal the cork and minimize oxydization. The Riserva is removed from 'La Storica' only when it is sold.
